How a Midface Lift (Cheek Lift) is Performed - Cincinnati, Ohio Midface Lift (Cheek Lift) Surgery is an excellent option if you have sagging cheeks but no jowls or banding of the neck. Midface lift surgery targets the skin and muscle tissue in the cheeks. During the procedure, this area is tightened and smoothed resulting in a more youthful appearance. The best candidates for a midface lift are those with deep marionette lines (also referred to as nasolabial folds). Midface Lift (Cheek Lift) Recovery – Cincinnati, Ohio Midface Lift (Cheek Lift) Surgery patients should expect swelling and bruising after surgery which typically lasts a week or two. You will want to take about one week off from work to have plenty of time to heal. To reduce swelling and bruising after surgery, sleep with a wedge pillow so that your head is elevated at all times for the first few weeks. Cold compresses or a bag of frozen peas will also help, but should not be left on for more than twenty minute intervals. Pain medicine is typically needed the first few days. Mineral makeup can typically be used two days after surgery to hide bruising and incision sites, but you will want to check with Dr. Vennemeyer before applying this. If you have non-absorbable sutures, they will need to be removed 5-7 days after your midface lift surgery. You can resume light exercise like walking after the first week, but you will need to work back into your normal routine gradually over a month or two. Facelift Surgery Potential Complications - Cincinnati, OhioFollowing any surgery, bleeding can occur that results in a hematoma or collection of blood under the skin. This usually needs to be drained surgically. Infection can occur but is rare after a midface lift surgery. As with any surgery, skin loss can occur if the blood supply to the skin is not adequate. This can range from minimal areas that heal without intervention or, rarely, can be severe enough to require further surgery. Smoking increases this risk. As with any surgery, nerve injury can occur resulting in areas of numbness or paralysis of certain areas of the face. This is usually temporary, resolving over several weeks to months. It is important to note that asymmetry is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to peoples' faces. A midface lift surgery does not typically change this and your normal asymmetries will persist following your midface lift. Mild asymmetry of incisions is possible, but this is usually not noticeable because all incisions cannot be seen at the same time.
